THE BUREAU’S FAVORABLE DECISION from theInterstate Commerce Commission on theinterstate switching charges in Houston isgoing to court: As reported previously, theBureau did receive a favorable decisionfrom the Interstate Commerce Commission inconnection with the interstate switchingcharge and minimum charges on shipmentsmoving to and from the Port of Houston,wherein the railroads proposed to increasetheir switching charges substantially thatresulted in a rate of $180.12 per carwhen in railroad-owned equipment and$158.50 per car when in privately ownedequipment. The railroads instituted courtaction on October 7th in the U.S. Court ofAppeals for the 5th Circuit in New Orleansand it is docketed as No. 75-5677. As aresult of a petition filed on October 6thby the railroads to stay the I.C.C.’sfinal order, the Commission on October 16thserved notice that the October 23rdeffective date of the September 17thcancellation order be stayed pendingjudicial review. The Bureau and otherinterested protestants have intervened inthe court proceeding in defense of theInterstate Commerce Commission’s decision.

, . .ICC Orders Moto~ Carriers to cancelprovisions on freight all kinds extendingHouston rates to or from Galveston: Several

regular route motor common carriers amendedprovisions of tariff applying on FreightAll Kinds by providing that rates to orfrom Houston, Texas for distances inexcess of 150 miles would apply to or fromGalveston and Texas City, Texas. The Bureau,joined by several motor carriers, filed aprotest on these schedules in which it wasalleged that schedules were unreasonable,and preferential to the ports of Galvestonand Texas City, Texas. The ICC acting inresponse to our protest, suspended theschedules and issued an order directingmodified procedure in this proceeding. Therespondent motor aarriers ~de no attemptto defend the schedules they had publishedwhich would have been detrimental to thecarriers’ earnings and encourage diversionof tonnage from the Port of Houston.Following failure by motor carriers todefend their proposed schedules the ICC

NOVEMBER, 1975

has in I~S Docket No. M-28730 orderedthe carriers to cancel the said scheduleson or before November 5, 1975.

ICC STAYS ORDER AGAINST CANCELLATION ofAT&SF grain rates to Louisiana ports: TheInterstate Commerce Commission issued anearlier order that the AT&SF publicationcancelling certain export grain ratesto Louisiana ports had not been shown tobe just and reasonable. The respondentcarrier and the Bureau petitioned theCommission for reconsideration of theorder and the Commission issued an orderwith a service date of October 2, 1975,staying its order of August 14, 1975, inI&S Docket 9002, pending disposition of thepetition.

. . .INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION RULES AGAINin I&S Docket 8965, car demurrage rules,nationwide: This case involves the initialdecision of the Commission wherein Division2 found that (1) the proposal to reducefree time for loading from 48 to 24hours is just and reasonable; (2) theproposal to change the period of notifica-tion of arrival of a car, to permit acarrier to notify a consignee at anytimeduring the day the car arrives, is justand reasonable; and (3) the proposal exempt private cars on private tracksfrom demurrage charges is not shown to bejust and reasonable. The Commission in itslatest order on the second day of October,1975, actingas an Appellate Division, onthe petitions of the Houston Port Bureau

and others for reconsideration, ruled thatthe petition for reconsideration did notpresent sufficient grounds to warrantgranting the action and, thus, was deniedand the proceeding discontinued. Otheraction being considered.
